Saturday early morning after a full night shift I leave for the airport get onto a kingfisher flight(sad airhostesses) to hyderabad. After much fooling around in Hyderabad, Kompally to be precise I start riding.

The route was Hyderabad (Kompally) -- Sadasivpet -- Homnabad -- Umarga -- Solapur -- Indapur -- Pune (SB Road).

Started at around 1.15 PM, got to Homnabad, asked around for Red bull because of sleep depreviation, people are like what the fk is that? Finally had a box of Glucon D with half a litre of water and a chocolate. Set out to ride again. Stop for a fuel up past the right turn for Bidar and the guys at the bunk are really helpful cuz they hear I am coming from Hyderabad and going to Pune.

Into Maharashtra and before reaching solapur, some shiv sena big shot was travelling in the opposite direction so stupid shit happening on the road. Reached Solapur around 6.15 and from there the road is pretty crappy. Started dozing off sitting on the bike after Indapur. Went off the road at one point, had some coffee and decided to continue.

Around 9.30 in the evening my eyes were practically closing themselves shut. Decided to ride without the helmet so the windblast keeps me awake. Got to Pune finally at 11.30 pm.

This whole section was 600 kms.

Sunday afternoon went out to Lavasa and back with Vivek and my girlfriend sitting pillion to me. That was a fun ride. Total round trip about 100 kms.

Monday morning 9.30 am leave for bombay with girlfriend, it starts pouring before lonavala have coffee at the tapri next to Neeta Inn before lonavala and off we go, reached around 12.30 ish to bombay.

Completed some work there caught up with friends. Lunch at Mcdonald's and start riding back. Took a small detour off panvel and went on the Pen road which gives you 60 kms of extra riding on AWESOME roads and you get back on the NH4 a few kilometers before Khopoli.

Back to pune around 7.30 PM. Total round trip 400 kms.

Met Vinay(bugger responsible for making me spend 15k every 6 months on graphic cards) on tuesday at Barista on FC road. chit chatting about this and that. Give him a scare as a pillion going up and down FC road terrorizing pretty much everybody there was in the vicinity.

Tuesday morning leave pune at 6am. Scrape footpegs in tamhini ghats and got to satara. Covered 105 kms between 7am and 8am. Reached belgaum by 9.30am. Hubli by 11.00

The roads between pune and dharwad are so awesome that you can keep a superbike pinned.

Hubli to chitradurga is shit for roads. From chitradurga to about 20 kms before sira there aren't any fking roads, its only pot holes and stones on the road.

After sira road improves but traffic starts building up to bangalore, crossed tumkur got onto nice road exiting to bannerughata road to get back home.

Round trip of 989 kms done in 11.5 hours.

Total trip was 2200 kms, averaging 100~120 kph on the speedo all the time. It was madness for a ride.

Oooh, forgot to mention this was done on the newly acquired RD 350 that I got, came fitted with RDD CDI and UNIs. Somewhere between Sankeshwar and Belgaum pinned the throttle and did about 170 on the speedo. Dunno what it would be on a gun.

Barrels will go to ron for some magic soon.

This is the reason why I have been missing in action since last saturday.

P.S. I am sure some muscles in my ass must have died due to lack of blood supply, man does my ass hurt.

Ain't saying all kf chicks are sad. The ones on this flight were sad. One of my ex chicks is working with kingfisher and I have met some friends of hers and they were hot.

The RD trip was awesome got quite a few weird eyeballs.
